Deep learning for assisting the process of music composition (part 3)

This is part 3 of my explorations of using deep learning for assisting the process of music composition. In this part, I look at creating things other than strict folk tunes with a model trained by deep learning methods on over 23,000 folk tunes. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here.

Does the world really need tens of thousands of new reels and jigs?
